SuTA said:—I will now describe the great adoration of Shiva which yeilds enjoyment and emancipation. He is of a quiescent soul, present every where, void and stationed in a room of twelve parts. His five mouths are represented by five short vowels and his limbs by leng vowels added with Vindu. His weapon is represented by Visarga. Then the word Shiva should be written upwards. With the sixth the great mantram Houm impregnated with various meanings should be written. With hands the after parts of the feet should be held and then the ends thereof should be placed on the head. This is the great MudrS. Then the assignment of hands should be made. With the astro, mantram the back should be purified. Then beginning with the youngest finger and ending with the fore all the fingers should be'assigned. I will now describe the adoration in the pericarp of the lotus of the heart. One should adore religion, knowledge, disassociation from the world and prosperity in the heart. The invocation and the installation [rites of the Deity], the water for washing feet and Arghya shbuld be dedicated to the heart. And similarly the rinsing of the mouth, sprink- ling of water and adoration should be made.
